To the countries that were doing the exploiting in South America, Africa and Asia as opposed to staying in a country being exploited by Russia?

From countries that used secret service against it's own citizens to countries that used it to assassinate inconvenient democratically elected leaders of other countries?

And now, with the threat of "communism" (no, it wasn't one, because communism would have meant giving up state power), capitalism is slowly getting just as awful to the people in the core as it was to the people on the periphery.

The progress you so enjoy is the product of trade, truly. Across thousands of years. But best trade is free trade. One where nobody is coerced by police NOR implicitly by having choices stripped away from them by the capitalist ruling class that just wants to maintain it's position. People deep in debt, living from paycheck to paycheck, cannot make their choices freely.

> For those who don't understand the problem let me put it into perspective. These EMR shielding problems were solved in the 1930s when aircraft used HF radio (≈3-30MHz). Aircraft HF radio receivers have to be about an order of magnitude more sensitive than normal domestic AM radios because the incoming signals were so much weaker. That didn't deter RF engineers of the day, now all aircraft electronics are properly shielded.

Thanks for the history, precedents and references.
How do you prevent your bare hand from getting abraded when it accidentally brushes up against the sanding belt, drill bit, or other fast moving parts of the tool? Yes, I know, exercising caution is always a great idea, but accidents do happen, right?

I have a bench grinder that I use to clean rust off various pieces of metal, and you'd better believe I wear gloves when using it. My reasoning is that the chance of accidentally touching the grinding wheel is high, and a glove will prevent most injuries, while the chance of the glove getting wound around the grinding wheel is near zero because it doesn't take much pressure to stop the wheel. Am I wrong?

> The regular people of Pakistan are being punished by international organizations for the actions of a few dirty apples among them.

Pakistan ranks very high in the corruption scale. They’re being punished for the actions of their elected leaders, the corrupt ones they’ve consistently refused to vote out of office.

Had friends over who paid 9 gbp for a return ticket London-south Spain on Ryanair. I see rows of tickets even in the summer for 9-30 euros for the same trip on different budget airlines.

If the price were E50 for that flight, it would still barely make a profit if you pay for the carbon credits to offset; 1 gram would cost 0,00007 (I see the current price for 1 credit for the EU is around 70 euros); a 737 has about 115gr per seat exhaust per km as per Wikipedia , so that makes the price for a 4000km trip around 30 euros only on emissions per seat. And that’s with all seats filled (it will use a tiny bit less with less seats but not that much).

And this is not including the contested and highly unfair lack of kerosine tax which competing transportation (cars, trains, buses etc do have to pay), but that’s another story.

Tickets under a 100 return means that someone is cutting corners with the environment. At least until we have fully neutral/clean planes (proven), which will come eventually.
The point is that they are comparing the English comprehension of various models, but their examples range from slightly incorrect to incomprehensible English. They don’t seem to be aware of this, because if you were intentionally testing on incorrect English you would also test on correct English as well to be able to quantify the difference.

If I was writing a paper about AI comprehension of Italian and I was not confident at speaking Italian I would definitely want to ask an Italian speaker to check my examples for me.
I also recommend using negative animation delay values if you want to control the progress via JS.

e.g. animation-delay: -1500ms will begin the animation immediately but jump to 1.5s into the animation. Controlling this value with JS lets you effectively scrub through CSS animations via JS, making every animation compatible with game-engine style compute-update-render tick loops.

No one "is a bad programmer." Programmers have a wide range of skills, talent, and experience. You can only think of yourself as "bad" by comparing yourself to other programmers, or honestly assessing that you repeatedly fail to deliver.

I suggest reframing how you think of yourself and your career so far.

From what you wrote I gather you have a few years of work experience mostly limited to front-end web development, a large cohort of programmers (well, it was for a while) but a narrow niche in terms of skills and exposure to solving actual business problems. Try focusing on some more transferable and durable skills: relational databases and SQL, system administration (cloud infrastructure and Linux), security, and back-end architecture. And start thinking of the business value you offer rather than what languages or frameworks you have used. Companies and customers don't pay for more lines of code, they pay people who can solve business problems. So concentrate on business domain expertise.

Programming and code usually don't have much value unless they serve to solve business problems. Almost every post about the bad job market and difficulty getting a job starts with "I have worked with X language and Y framework" (the "stack") when employers really want to know how you will add value to their business, how you can solve a business problem. By analogy, when I hire a plumber I assume they have learned their trade and tools, but I hire them to fix a problem like a broken drain or low water pressure, not because they have a specific brand of wrench. When looking for a plumber I will first ask people I know and go by their recommendations. You should cultivate your professional network for the same reason, so you get in the door from referrals rather than by filling out hundreds of applications online.

My question would be how to make an AI tutor that doesn’t become a crutch. If the answers are always at the student’s fingertips, the temptation to just get the answer is real and would lead to some of the more hard earned lessons being missed.

A good teacher or tutor should know when to let the student struggle a little bit so they can discover the answer on their own to create some self reliance and confidence.
I think you may be overestimating the complexity & costs involved. Hyperscalars run millions of machines and have extracted impressive efficiencies from that that you’re not going to be able to compete with by buying and maintaining your own rack. This starts to become clear when you consider how ancient, outdated and expensive servers for hospital systems are.
Early 1982. https://folklore.org/Five_Different_Macs.html:

“In the beginning of 1982, the original 68000 design was more than a year old, and the software was nowhere near finished, so Burrell was afraid some of the trade-offs of the original design were no longer current. He used the expansive canvas of a custom chip, where additional logic was almost free, to update the architecture. The most important decision was admitting that the software would never fit into 64K of memory and going with a full 16-bit memory bus, requiring 16 RAM chips instead of 8. The extra memory bandwidth allowed him to double the display resolution, going to dimensions of 512 by 342 instead of 384 by 256. He also added bells and whistles like a fancy, DMA-fed sound generator with four independent voices. This was the fourth version of the Macintosh design.”

[would Betty Boop then be an appropriate mascot for what Linebarger quaintly calls "Oestrous Propaganda"? As evidence that even in the 1940s and 1950s scientists and other men of culture were punctilious with providing sources, here's Linebarger:

> Figure 31: Oestrous Black. Young human beings, especially young males, are apt to give considerable attention to sex. In areas of military operations, they are removed from the stimuli of secondary sex references which are (in America) an accepted part of everyone's daily life: bathing beauty photos, magazine covers, semi-nudes in advertisements, etc. Our enemies tried to use the resulting pin-up craze for propaganda purposes, hoping that a vain arousal of oestrum would diminish morale.

That fallout doesn't seem as huge a problem as it is often made out to be. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are not wastelands, they are relatively large cities, and they basically never stopped being ones, even immediately after the bombs fell. The pure destruction of the explosion was a worse problem than the fallout overall - and with today's much higher yields and much more densely populated cities, that seems likely to continue to be the case.

Pros: Ask questions without fear of being judged and scolded. Huge improvement for Asia and education culture.

Cons:
- Jailbreaks enabling suicide ideation (huge issue in APAC)
- Hallucinations
- Dehumanisation and social isolation. Already the biggest issue we see from people entering the workforce is inability to navigate the workplace socially and to negotiate around conflict. LLMs are conflict avoiders.

- In the end this is commoditization. Poor people get AI tutors, rich kids get face time. PE splits the difference

I totally agree with (c) and believe it should be addressed. Plastics need to be collected when they become garbage and reused as building material and if not possible stored properly for next hundred or few hundred years. We need to create proper incentives for that. Reduction of plastic use should of course be encouraged but not at the cost of functionality. So peeled bananas in plastics should be banned, but juice bottles shouldn't be glass.

As for (a) plastic uses up about 6% of oil we dig up so political influence of plastic manufacturers is probably roughly proportional. That explains why we have paper straws while oil extraction and burning continues and increases completely unrestricted. Plastics are just the easiest political target.

And as for (b) making plastic takes less energy than making glass or metal for the same purpose, plastics also are lighter so produce less emissions in transport so if we magically waved away all the plastics our emissions would rise by many percent, not fall. And we can't just not use packaging because the we would waste even more food which would also cause emissions.

It's like with ethanol for cars. In theory it was supposed to save emissions. In practise it caused greater emissions due to land use change for the purpose of growing corn to make methanol.

Probably half of the things we do (my wild guess) to help the environment or emissions specifically actually increases emissions in the end.

It's sad to see that even on HN there is huge representation of mainstream simplistic views that don't recognize complexities of the world and the need for carefulness to not make things worse.
That should also enable iOS style, scroll-offset bound animations, right?

Because it’s cheaper to run DAB than FM and running both with the same content costs too much. But for range, DAB is even worse. The neighboring country’s stations here already stop working five miles behind the border. FM covers 50 miles and since local AM transmission have stopped, in my car I can listen to stations 300 miles away. It sounds like crap but it’s still usable and I tune in often. For sports coverage it was good enough and I miss the times where it was possible to listen to full games while driving. The FM replacement doesn’t cover as much area and there’s no consistent internet coverage to listen via app (and it’s illegal to play with your phone while driving, so once the app cuts out, you can’t restart it)

Sorry, I'm siding with the physicists here. If you're going to declare that your seemingly arbitrary choice of coordinate system is actually not arbitrary and part of your prior information about where the mean of the distribution is suspected to be, you have to put that in the initial problem statement.

You are making the strong statements here, not me, I'm just saying your evidence there wasn't enough to support your strong statements. If you have more evidence such as the insulin index being zero, you should have brought that up.

If the insulin index is 0 then per definition it doesn't increase insulin, yes, but the glycemic index being 0 doesn't say it about insulin, as your post suggest, so your post was definitely wrong. I was not wrong pointing out that your post was wrong.

What I have seen in UK on other and several other countries with some utilities (not sure if these sewers apply) is that privatisation happened, which was supposed to be good as we learned from the US (… right …), however, if that happens without competitors, it just means that there is one public now turned private company with money and shareholder pressure and 0 competitors will simply up the pricing, cut corners and do less and less over the years until things break enough to get into the news papers and questions to responsible gov agencies.

Do you mean economy? Your comment doesn’t mention the environment.

OP: “preventing unwanted pregnancies is good for environment” (because humans have big carbon footprint)

You: “having fewer children is bad: see these economies”

This reads as criticism of birth control and the viability of population reduction as an environmental strategy. But:

1. Do unwanted children typically contribute positively to GDP? Isn’t reducing that terrible situation just a win on all fronts?

2. How is collapsing population in developed countries related to the OP’s suggestion of widespread birth control? Are they really that related?

3. How is having fewer kids bad for environment? Afaict it is unambiguously good for that.
Everyone bitches about it when they first start and eventually learns a better way. The culture is about creating explicit artifacts of knowledge (design docs, documentation, commit/review messages, etc) rather than trying to dig around in streams of consciousness hoping to find the bits of info you need later.

They call it an outrage, they talk about public outcry - yet this is the democratic will of the British people. This was not an accident - this was a choice.

It was a manifesto promise by the conservatives to privatise water companies, and so they did.

It was a manifesto promise by the conservatives to cut environmental regulations, and so they did.

This is not a scandal. This is what Britain wants. Yes, like other British political decisions it might seem peculiar, but it’s their choice to make.

Those complaining are a minority, or else they would have representation in parliament that would have lead to a different outcome - and yes, you can wring your hands about how FPTP makes for an unfair democracy - but they voted for that too when given the choice to switch to STV, recently.
